Twilight Sparkle, as described by her teachers, was a bright young girl with a keen interest in learning. She is a dedicated student who often works hard on projects and receives high marks in return. There wasn't any mystery on how she got into Crystal Prep. Crystal Prep, in turn, was a prestigious school that only accept the best and brightest. 

However, despite how prestigious the school is, Twilight was never quite happy with going to Crystal Prep. The students there are overachievers, but they take their academics so seriously that they tend to be cold to one another and often give Twilight a hard time. They see that if you don't do anything by yourself, then you aren't worth their time or attention. Service to say, she didn't get along well within this school.

However, things were about to change for her. Against what everyone would expect, Twilight had decided on leaving Crystal Prep and plan on transferring to a new school. What is that new school? Canterlot High, Crystal Prep's rival school.

On her last week of going to Crystal Prep, Twilight was eagerly carrying box through the hall. After the years of being tripped and being bumped into, she was able to dodge any incoming students and move out of their way. It also helps that the box that she was carrying was also light. Eventually, Twilight stopped when she reached her locker.

She quickly puts in her combination and cracks open her locker. When it was open, Twilight then began on taking out her books that she had to keep there and putting them in her box. Twilight was feeling a bit sentimental as she was doing it. She never really needed her books except on a few occasion. It just that even though she was eager on leaving the school, she still want to have something to remind her of Crystal Prep. And besides, Twilight can't leave a good book behind.

But then, as she was done packing her books, Twilight suddenly heard a voice. "So you really are transferring to Canterlot High" said the voice as it asks out. As Twilight wonder where the voice came from, Twilight's locker door suddenly shuts and Sugar Coat was revealed to be behind it.

Surprised, Twilight jump back and yelled: "AH!" Once she saw who it was, she then says: "Oh Sugar Coat, it was you." 

Calmed down, Twilight then answer her question. "Yeah, I'm just getting my stuff ready and I'm leaving here tomorrow."

Without looking phased, Sugar Coat then says to her: "Really? It's weird that somebody from a school like this wants to go to a school like that."

"Well, I don't care which school I'll go to" Twilight retorted.

However, Sugar Coat then interrupted her and says: "Well obviously you do care since you want to get away from here." This causes Twilight to be annoyed for a second.

After calming down, Twilight says to Sugar Coat: "Look! Does it really matter which school I'm at as long that I get my education?" And then, in a moment of motivation, she stated: "Heck! I bet that I would be the smartest student at Canterlot High!"

However, Sugar Coat remained to be un-phased. Unintentionally ruining Twilight's mood, she told her: "... Well, you do whatever you want to do. I don't really care. Just don't expect a happy reunion at the Friendship Games" and she then left leaves.

Twilight was both annoyed and disappointed that Sugar Coat wasn't at all upset to see her gone. It reminds her one of the reasons why she wants to transfer. However, Twilight decide not to hold it against her since she knows that she is like that and at least she didn't make fun of her for transferring. After making a huff, she picked up her box and went and finishes collecting the rest of her stuff.

After making a small trip across the school, Twilight Sparkle finally arrived at her private study. It was small little room where she would do all of her important school projects which she would often do by herself. She had a giant clipboard which helps organize her schedule and help visualize her thoughts. She has a few important machines lying about, but she never had a reason to use them. Honestly, since most of this stuff is school property, Twilight doesn’t have a lot of things to pack away. However, there was still one thing that she can't leave behind.

When Twilight took a slight peak under the table, a small purple puppy leaps out from under. Catching her off guard, the dog causes Twilight to fall down on her back and he climbs on top of her. As he began licking and kissing her face, Twilight cry out: "*Ha! Ha!* Ok Spike, Stop It! *Ha! Ha! Ha!* It Tickles!" The dog was named Spike and he was Twilight's pet.

Unbeknownst to the principal's notice, Twilight often (but not intentionally) take Spike to school with her. He often follows her to school and it's very hard to take him back. Whenever Twilight tells him to go home, Spike would give her a sad, puppy dog look that Twilight could never resist. She often keeps him in the study and hides him away from the teacher (except Dean Cadence who helps her keep Spike a secret). If he was ever be found, she would get into a lot of trouble, especially since the principal has allergies to fur. However, Spike is one clever dog. Possibly even as clever as Twilight. Say something to him and he would more than likely understands it. And with his cleverness, Twilight managed to take her pet to school and never get caught.

But then, as Twilight was struggling to get Spike off of her and stop him from licking her, they both suddenly stopped when they heard someone's voice by the doorway. "Well, I'm glad to see that you got everything sorted" said a voice in a cheerful tone.

At first, Twilight was worried that it was a teacher and they had caught her with Spike. However, when they look up, they became relieved and happy to see that it was Dean Cadence. "Cadence!" Twilight cry out cheerfully.

Embarrassed that Cadence is seeing her like this, Twilight quickly got Spike off of her, swiftly got up from the floor. After brushing off any dog hair that may have got onto her, she asks her: "What are you doing here?"

Cadence replied: "I just wanted to see if you got everything ready?"

"Oh, I have" Twilight replied back. "Books are packed, schedules and checklists are checked, and by next Monday, I'll be absolutely ready to attend CHS!"

Cadence chuckle and says: "Well that's good." But then, she suddenly felt a bit of somber when she steps closer into the room. "I still can't believe that you are leaving here so soon."

"Aww Cadence! Are you gonna miss me?"

"Yeah... sort of." she replied. However, she quickly turns around, places a hand on Twilights shoulder and says: "But at the same time, I'm happy for you. This is your chance to have a fresh start on your school life."

Feeling touched, Twilight told her: "Thanks, Cadence."

However, as Twilight was appreciating the moment that she has with older sister figure, Cadence suddenly says something that damper her mood.

"This is your moment to make some friends."

"What!?"

"Yeah! Like meeting more people within your own age group, finding out that others might like the same stuff that you do and just socialize more with other people."

As Cadence was going on and on about the positives of friendship, Twilight steadily grew... wearisome. After spending years within a harsh school environment, she lost the point in having friends. She knows that no one at her new school won't be as intellectual as her, she wouldn't need any friends to help her on her work and she is very much happy on staying by herself. However, Twilight knows that Cadence wouldn't like it to hear any of that so she nervously says: "Yeah..."

Cadence quickly picked up Twilight's discomfort. Concerned, she cries: "Twilight?"

Twilight knows that Cadence is onto her. Hesitantly, she says: "Well you see..."

"Twilight!" Interrupted Cadence, sounding stern.

"... I managed to get by so far by myself, so I don't really see the point..."

"Twilight!" yelled Cadence, accidentally letting her voice to get the best of her.

The room went into an eerie silence as both girls felt slightly embarrassed. Spike was sitting on the ground, awkwardly looking at both of them. After taking a deep breath to calm herself, Cadence politely ask Twilight: "Will you at least try to make some friends at your new school?"

Twilight still doesn't like the idea. However, she doesn't want to upset Cadence even more. Begrudgingly, she replied: "... I guess I could try."

"That's good..." Cadence replied softly. When she could see that Twilight still has some reserves about making, she got up close and says to her: "Listen Twilight. Even though you might be ok with not making friends, but sometimes Twilight, people need a friend to help them to get through tough times. All I'm trying to say is... I just want you to be happy."

"Thanks, Cadence. It means a lot" Twilight replied.

But then, as they were enjoying the nice heartwarming moment, Cadence thought that the moment still needs to be a bit more cheerful. She says to Twilight: "And besides, we can still see each other sometimes."

Smirking, Twilight asks: "Like when?"

"Like whenever I have to come to Canterlot for some school related stuff."

But then, Twilight humorously adds: "Or whenever you want to see Shining Armor?"

"Twilight!" Cadence yell out in embarrassment. Despite being embarrassed, both her and Twilight began laughing out loud to their own amusement and Spike just roll his eyes.

A few days later, on the eve of Twilight's first day on going to her new school, Canterlot High was completely empty for the night. The students were long gone and the teachers had gone home for the night. With nobody around, a cloaked figure suddenly appeared and trespasses on school site.

The figure did not try to break into the school or try to steal anything from them. They just stand outside in the front yard and by the school's horse statue. There, the cloaked figure waited. They waited and they waited. And then, when the moon had reached its highest point in the night's sky, something happened. On the side that faces towards the main school, the school's statue light up and a strange gateway had suddenly appeared.

Ecstatic to see the portal, the cloaked figure gleefully says out loud: "Finally! The portal has finally open once again!" As the cloak step closer towards the portal, they then say: "Soon, every-pony will finally realize how important I'm really am."

And with that said, the cloaked figure then walked into the statue and suddenly disappears. The figure was gone and the portal light slowly dies down, nobody will ever realize who was just here and what magical event that just transpires.
